Mini Apple Turnovers

If you like apple pie then you should like this turnovers. Apple turnovers are awesome pastries perfect for breakfast, tea time, a snack with a cup of coffee or dessert. They are extremely simple to prepare and very yummy. Here is an easy, but tasty recipe.

1) Combined all the filling ingredients except cinnamon in a pan and cook until the apple tender and the filling almost dry. Add in cinnamon and set it aside to cool down.2) On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pastry dough thinly and cut into round shape with cookie cutter.3) Spoon the cooled apple filling onto the pastry and ightly moisten the edges of the rounds with water and fold the dough over the filling to form semicircularturnovers. Press down on the edges to seal.4)Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Brush turnovers with egg wash and bake for 20 min or until golden brown. Let cool on rack.

This has nothing to do with your food, except that it sure looks delicious. I was in Chinatown last weekend for a haircut and found one opened by our fellow citizen. It's called Lai's Beauty Salon, 139 N. 9th St. Philly, PA 19107. She was glad to meet me and hope to meet more M'sians. I'm new here and do not know any M'sians at all, except those I see in Banana Leaf R'rant (but our conversations go as far as what I'd like to eat). But I kinda 'know' you through your blog. So I figure if I spread to words out to you and maybe you to others, we can support our people? Last but not least, keep up your great cooking!

Emily, thanks for your comment. I will sure look for this lady if I nned a hair cut in Chinatown. By the way we do have a group of Malaysian here in Philly/Delaware where we meet up once or twice a year. There will be a gathering next weekend and if you are interested in meeting some of them do e.mail me and I will give you the details. My e.mail is at my profile. Take care.

These look fantastic! What's the yield on them? It looks like nine from the picture but I wanted to check!

I think i'm going to make tiny ones for a reception - more like finger food...would you be able to tell me the approximate size of the turnovers when they're cut into circles so I can adjust the baking time accordingly?
